	<p>The <a href="./html/T_Newtonsoft_Json_Serialization_IContractResolver.htm">IContractResolver</a> interface provides a way to customize how the JsonSerializer serializes and deserializes .NET objects to JSON.</p>
	<p>Implementing the IContractResolver interface and then assigning an instance to a JsonSerializer lets you control 
        whether the object is serialized as a JSON object or JSON array, what object members should be serialized, how they are serialized and what they are called.</p>
	
	<h4>DefaultContractResolver</h4>
	<p>The <a href="./html/T_Newtonsoft_Json_Serialization_DefaultContractResolver.htm">DefaultContractResolver</a> is the default resolver used by the serializer. It provides many avenues of extensibility in the form of virtual methods that can be overriden.</p>
	
	<h4>CamelCasePropertyNamesContractResolver</h4>
	<p><a href="./html/T_Newtonsoft_Json_Serialization_CamelCasePropertyNamesContractResolver.htm">CamelCasePropertyNamesContractResolver</a> inherits from DefaultContractResolver and simply overrides the JSON property name to be written in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CamelCase" target="_blank">camelcase</a>.</p>
